Pre-game warm-ups are accounted for in the recommended pitch counts by ASMI. Warming up is factored into the numbers that they came up with, so you never include them in the pitch count equation. In fact, warm-up pitches between innings are also taken into account in the recommendations. The ASMI recommendations only refer to in game pitches to batters.

How many pitches has ASMI assigned as "warm up" pitches? 10, 30, 50, 100???

Why hasen't ASMI (American Sports Medicine Institute) come out with recommended throw counts for catchers? Obviously they have strong opinions about pitch counts to protect an arm and things not to do, we see these rules mimicked in tourney rules...but if every catcher throw back is equal to 1/2 a pitch where are the rules to protect the catchers arms in those tournaments?
